Get the WICED BSP

To use the WICED Feather, you first need to install a board support package (BSP) that includes all the classes, drivers

and example code that make it possible to create projects that can talk to the STM32F205 MCU and Broadcom radio.

This guide will walk you through the process of getting the BSP setup on your development machine.

Adding Adafruit Board Support

The first thing you will need to do is start the IDE and navigate to the Preferences menu. You can access it from the

File menu in Windows or Linux, or the Arduino menu on OS X.

A dialog like this will pop up:

We will be adding a URL to the new Additional Boards Manager URLs option. The list of URLs is comma separated,

you will only have to add each URL once.

New Adafruit boards and updates to existing boards will automatically be

The WICED BSP installation procedure for 0.6.0 and higher is completely different than the manual

installation procedure from earlier versions. See the notes at the bottom of this page if you are upgrading.

This guide is based on Arduino 1.6.5 or higher. You will need a similar version of the Arduino IDE to follow this

guide, which was tested with 1.6.11.
